I'd be grateful for any guidance or, just to know that what I'm experiencing is a common problem. Bought a 2008 Z4 2 litre a month ago. Low mileage (71K), and except for the roof not working (I'll wait until Spring) the car seemed OK. I bought it from a Carlisle Van dealer who had bought the car from the local Lloyds BMW dealer as, at 2008, apparently they normally don't put them onto the forecourt. My two big issues have been first the ultra light, tram lining steering. And secondly, four yellow steering and ABS related warning lights coming on, and off, and on. Then staying on!
I put the car into my local BMW dealership and had a full service done. They replaced several sensors and the rear off side suspension. I also asked them to replace the run flats. The result is better steering, not so light, but still not what I'd like. I sense it is as good though as it's going to get.
As regards the warning lights: They continue to light up like a Christmas tree five minutes after start up. The dealer obviously hasn't solved the problem.
Has anyone any words of wisdom please? The car runs beautifully other than that. Am I simply going to have to put up with these lights. On other words, get over it, and ignore them? Which, is contrary to why they are there. Thanks.
